Chapter 44 - Ill be waiting for you, Jing Lihua (1/2)
Zhao Liying looked at the time. It was already at 9 pm. Her manager had started calling her. She was supposed to be at the airport by 8:30 pm. After much contemplation, she had to block him. She couldn't afford to attend her call. Her Xiao Hua had warned her a lot that her grandfather was a very suspicious man.
Damn you, Xiao Hua! Where are you? You promised to come back before 8 pm. I'm never going to trust your words again!
Zhao Liying had already sent Jing Lihua more than twenty messages, half of them consisted of exquisite curses but there was no reply from her side. Jing Lihua had decided to send another text when she heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside. She quickly put down her phone and pretended to be asleep.
Tang Liuwei opened the door to his granddaughter's room and glanced around. He was a little surprised to find that Jing Lihua was still here. His granddaughter was being very obedient and it unsettled him for some reason.
”Xiao Lizi, wake up! Its time to take your medicine”
She gave no response. Must be asleep soundly.
”Xiao Lizi?”
When he walked closer to the bed intending to wake her up, he heard a muffled cough.
”Grandfather, I've taken the medicine. I'm feeling tired after taking it. So let me sleep”
”What happened to your voice?” Her voice was strangely squeaky.
”My throat; it hurts. The Side effects from the medicine. Nothing to worry about” Zhao Liying coughed some more to make her excuse seem realistic.
”Alright. I'll leave you then.”
Zhao Liying internally praised herself. God, she was so good! She fooled Jing Lihua's grandfather! Haha... She would brag about it for the rest of her life.
Tang Liuwei had just walked out when he suddenly stopped. He quickly walked back into the room.
”Why didn't you stop me when I called you Xiao Lizi?”
Silence followed his sudden burst. Zhao Liying was befuddled when the door had suddenly opened once again. Before she could think of an excuse, Tang Liuwei had already walked to the bed and snatched away the blanket from her.
Mother! She was scared!
...
Jing Lihua walked back into the director's room with a preoccupied mind. Now she had to deal with her uncle too? As if Su family members were not enough. Just then she received a myriad of texts from Zhao Liying.
”Hurry up! Your grandfather caught me!”
”I've to hide to text you! At least reply to me!”
”He says he'll kill me if I didn't tell him where you are!”
”He has already sent the man to fetch you!”
”Come and save me. I'm going to cry. Your grandfather is far scarier than my manager!”
When she wouldn't stop texting, Jing Lihua switched off her phone. She looked at the director who was sitting in his office chair.
”Dr. Chen, have you made up your mind whether to tell me the truth or not?”
